2019-2020 Adopt-a-Bike Program

The WashCo Bikes Adopt-a-Bike program is meant to give children in need a bicycle, helmet, lights, and a bike lock. The AAB program has served Washington county children for a decade and is now being expanded to a year-round program that serves low income families and veterans. Children’s bicycles are presented during the holidays, during bike commuter month in May, and through WashCo BTC summer camps. Each child will also receive safe rider instruction through WashCo Bikes in the coming months.

This year we are working with seven schools in Washington County and OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital. We will be presenting our Adopt-A-Bike bikes to K-3 students during the holiday season, to the 4th - 6th grade students as a part of Bike Commuter Month in May, and additional bikes through our summer bike camps.

The number of AAB bike packages given out each year is dependent on the amount of donations we collect during our campaign running November and December. In 2018-2019 we gave out over 250 bike packages and we intend to exceed that with the 2019-2020 program. Just during the holiday season, we will raise $20,000, which together with generous sponsorship will allow us to give away our first 200 bikes.

Are you ready to help share the joy of one's own wheels?
